Eric Kayser's
Baguette Monge
Certainly there are many fine boulangeries in Paris but for me, the perfect baguette can be found at Eric Kayser (on Rue Monge). You must ask for the Baguette Monge, and if you have good timing, it will be still warm from the oven.
They are a little over 1€ - what a bargain.
For a little piece of heaven, step outside, pinch off the top,
and take a bite while the steam fogs your face.
miam-miam

ReplyDeleteGros bisus

ReplyDeleteand with a goodly chunk of that saucisson sec ... la vie est belle.

You make me feel so hungry. There are many simple delights in this life and some crusty bread and a spicy salami is one of them. Add a glass of red and a good friend and life is complete.
ReplyDeleteI will pay a visit this June. Thanks for the "thumbs up".
ReplyDeleteYUM. Too me there are few things as delicious as really good, fresh bread.
ReplyDeleteReally french!:o)
ReplyDeleteI can attest that the pinched-off steaming bite is the best! Miam-miam indeed!
ReplyDeleteoh, you make it very difficult to be content with quinoa flakes.
ReplyDeleteputting it on my ever growing list ... i better take Toonman's advice and pack my 'fat' pants
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness yes, I am drooling over the saucise.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness yes, I am drooling over the saucise.
ReplyDeleteOh la la, I can smell it now!! :)
ReplyDeleteMiam indeed!!

Bonjour! Thank you for another beautiful post. I have been to Eric Kayser on rue Monge twice (lucky me!) and just asked for the traditionelle - do you really ask for a baguette Monge? If so, what is the difference?
ReplyDeleteI never get up early enough to get a baguette directly from the oven. Quel dommage!
ReplyDeleteMmm my favourite snack.
ReplyDeleteMiam! This is my favorite Paris baguette. Just throw in a hunk of brie and I could live happily on nothing more. Well, maybe some wine . . .
ReplyDeleteYummy! :D
ReplyDeleteJoe, you are right, and this photo is a reminder to me to enjoy the simple things and good friends.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, I recognize the shape and ask for it by name. I am sure that if you had a "regular-shaped" baguette that it would have been excellent as well. If it looked like the photo it was probably a 'Monge.
Elizabeth, you will not be disappointed!
Starman, at this Eric Kayser the ovens run all day and they are taking out "hot" bread around 5 to 6pm as people line up outside to make their purchases. No need to get up early!
Alexa, oh yes, the brie... and the wine!
Oh, dearie, I am not even hungry right now and I am salivating!
Bises,
Genie
Gosh Genie I think I just dribbled on my computer haha!
ReplyDeleteC'est vrai que le cliché n'est pas loin, mais ce pain semble être comme du gâteau.
ReplyDeleteJe me dis souvent que nous Français,avons de la chance.
Yummmm!!!
ReplyDeleteNo wine?
ReplyDeleteParisian slang word of the day: sauciflard, sausage.
ReplyDeleteOMG -- a little piece of Heaven. I can smell that bread, hear the crust crackling and taste that wonderful flavor [not to mention the salami!]. Merci beaucoup --
ReplyDeleteHe does have amazing bread.
ReplyDeleteTrès, très parisien !
ReplyDeleteOh how I miss a real French baguette!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Kayser bakery on rue Monge is my daily bakery. My experience is that they are always warm from the oven---the exception is room temperature but still wonderful. We plan ahead for Tuesdays when they are closed. I know---life is good. :)
